Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picturesque San Jose and Environments: An Illustrated Statement of the Progress, Prosperity and Resources of Santa Clara County, California P - o - u m_the atmosphere during the summer months, and the never failing trade winds, prevent oppressive heat and there is no day during that portion Of the year in' which labor cannot be performed in comfort. The mildness of the winter climate is insured by the warm currents Of the Pacific Ocean which approach the coast in such a manner as to produce the most genial effect in this valley. The effect of these winds is the result of the topography of the country. Reference to the map which appears on another page Will make this fact readily apparent. These winds, which rise at about noon each day during the summer, rush with great velocity through the Golden Gate and are projected against Mount Diablo by which they are deflected to the south and reach this valley in gentle and refreshing breezes. The valley, being sheltered from the Pacific by a high range of mountains, is effectually protected from the harsher ocean winds and uncomfortable fogs, while the range of hills On the east furnish equal protection from the hot atmosphere of the great interior plains. The result is a climate moist conducive to health and comfort and to the highest development of all the products of field or orchard. In further illustration of this statement reference is made to the table of temperature published herewith, which has been accurately compiled from observations regularly taken in the City of San Jose, and which shows the reading of the thermometer, and the rainfall, for each day during the twelve months ending December 31, 1892.
